As someone else mentioned, you may also want to consider moving to Linux and cutting all ties to Microsoft. By doing so, you'll cut yourself free of the problems that so often affect Windows users. A few minutes ago, I was on the phone with an uncle, who just lost the sound and internet connection on his computer. It could be a virus or something got corrupted etc., things that simply don't happen on Linux. If you can afford it, Macs are also a good alternative. A company I'm currently doing some work for switched to Mac, to get rid of all the problems caused by running Windows. OpenOffice.org is available for Macs too. There's a whole world of software out there, that's free of Windows and generally a lot better for it. Due to the dominance (often illegally acquired) of Windows, many people simply don't realize that software is not supposed to be so bad. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
